Green's Functions from Sample-based Krylov Quantum Diagonalization: An Impurity Solver for Dynamical Mean-Field Theory

RESUMO

We generalize the sample-based Krylov quantum diagonalization (SKQD) method from ground-state calculations to the evaluation of single-particle Green's functions. By constructing and sampling unitary Krylov subspaces in the N +/- 1 particle-number sectors and evaluating all sector-connecting overlaps classically, the approach reconstructs the Green's function via a Lanczos continued fraction while retaining the shallow-circuit, ancilla-free character of SKQD. The quantum device is required only to prepare and sample short-time evolutions. Applied to the particle-hole-symmetric single-impurity Anderson model in chain geometry, with the discrete bath representation used in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), the method recovers the spectral function using a relatively small fraction of the full Hilbert space. Across a range of interaction strengths that spans the metal-insulator transition, the main spectral features are reproduced. These results suggest that SKQD-based Green's-function calculations may allow DMFT impurity solvers with a larger number of bath sites on near-term quantum hardware than is currently practical.
